sandgrubber Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I happened across a database that may be useful for people trying to decide what breed.It's from a company that does DNA based breed identification.This one pays a lot more attention to temperament and needs for things like good fencing, exercise, early training, grooming, etc. than most I've looked at and is pretty comprehensive on medical problems. For the breeds I know and have looked at it was pretty much spot on. http://www.dog-dna.com/breeds.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Not bad but the Samoyed one needs work, there are quite a few issues. The Havanese one however is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy mum Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I thought the Italian Greyhound one was very good too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) I was ready to be critical of the Tibetan Spaniel entry. But it proved a reminder to me to approach things with an open mind. :) Because it basically was the same as the information supplied on the tibbie international breeders' website. Frankly, it looks like it was borrowed from there. Only quibble.... a qualifier, really .... the info on PRA could be updated. There's just been great research in the UK which has improved hugely how that can be tested for. Edited June 17, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podengo Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The Doberman health section needs some serious work - "Dobermans are a generally healthy breed" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The JRT one is ridiculous but atleast they explain why. No point americans telling australians what a jrt is when they couldnt get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
